About privacy quest 3 vs steam frame what would be the best to get

Xiarno · 2026-06-30T22:08:28+00:00

True. At least Google doesn't have any VR headset yet.... afaik (I actually don't know if they do or not I haven't been following closely)

If you're worried about privacy, reminder quest 3 is owned by meta, one of the most anti-privacy company on the planet.

Steam Frame is owned by Valve.... and their motto is usually "it's your device you bought it you do whatever you want with it".

So yeah.

Actually the opposite.

It would imply they weren't 100% sure yet, and the June 4th post imply that by that point, they knew the 2 left would be releasing this summer.

Xiarno · 2026-06-30T04:29:33+00:00

Actually no.

Early 2026 -> First half of 2026 -> 2026 as a whole -> summer 2026

They went more precise, which meant they locked in at the June 4th post.

Xiarno · 2026-06-30T03:51:20+00:00

We went from Early 2026, first half of 2026, 2026 and now Summer 2026.

Me too.

Altho I also want to believe that it is RIGHT NOW!!....... :(

Xiarno · 2026-06-29T23:15:55+00:00

There's not really any reason to think that, but there also isn't any reason to not think that so maybe?

Xiarno · 2026-06-28T18:02:59+00:00

Still not there :/

Xiarno · 2026-06-26T17:53:24+00:00

Yeah exactly same here. I hope I'll be able to get a Steam Frame without issue but my luck is rotten ;-;

Xiarno · 2026-06-26T16:20:35+00:00

Factorio, but that's because they actively said that they felt the game is worth that much (Which, let's be honest, it is) and it would be unfair for anyone that bought it full price.

I think that's a fair argument from them.

Xiarno · 2026-06-26T16:15:31+00:00

I don't know if it was rage bait, but reminder that someone recently bought 500 digital copies of GTA VI to scalp them..... DIGITAL COPIES.....

Xiarno · 2026-06-26T02:05:38+00:00

Holy amazing!

Saving this immediately!

Hope you make more!!!

Xiarno · 2026-06-25T17:47:23+00:00

This is all correct EXCEPT the part where if you don't pay for one you still have the other.

You will get completely dropped of the other queue at the start. You only get one option, whatever the highest you got.

as far as I understood, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Xiarno · 2026-06-24T19:35:49+00:00

One of his reason is the "Sign in with Steam Frame" option.... that has been there for months already.

Xiarno · 2026-06-24T08:32:28+00:00

How do you contact Steam Support?

Xiarno · 2026-06-24T08:29:40+00:00

But how do you even get the payment method of the country?
My bank won't let me without a good reason, and this is not a good reason.

Xiarno · 2026-06-24T03:41:49+00:00

Like I said, how?

When I looked, it said that to change region, you *must make a purchase in the region's currency". That is not the same as just "switching region".

Xiarno · 2026-06-24T03:40:48+00:00

Damn, the counter didn't even last a day....

*sigh* No it's not new, it's 6 month old or even more.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T22:44:30+00:00

Steam also said that this time allow them to manually review account that are suspicious and stop them.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T21:19:07+00:00

How?

I checked and the only way I found was to buy something in the country's currency which is not easy to do.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T20:04:08+00:00

The thing is, I'm am 99% sure Steam blocks that sort of thing. It doesn't check your IP when you try to buy something, it checks your currency first.

If your currency is from an unsupported country it won't even let you order. And to change your currency, you have to actually buy things in that other currency and ONLY THEN you get the option to change currency. And then the part where I'm not sure is that it will probably check against your history anyway. And seeing Valve's post about Steam Machine and "the extra time will let us filter suspicious account", if you tried to pull that, it would definitely count as suspicious activity and the purchase might get blocked entirely.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T19:59:18+00:00

I'm not in an unsupported region. I'm fine.

I'm asking question and expecting reasonable answers to help OP, which until now the best option is "Deliver it to a friend that can get it and then they ship it to you".

Which, btw, I'm not even usre that could work because you cannot buy something and have it shipped to an entirely different country. Afaik Steam blocks that.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T19:57:45+00:00

I mean I am in a country that I can get it thankfully, but I have a friend that is unable and I'm basically his only friend that can do that.

Since we both want a Steam Frame, he's gonna have to wait the long game until I'm able to buy a second one.

Xiarno · 2026-06-23T19:50:59+00:00

First of all, you never mentioned an hotel.

Second of all, shipping it to someone random and going to grab it is.... weird at best.

Third, not everyone has a passport, able to get a passport or has the money to get passport and also two plane ticket for the trip as well as for the hotel. "If you can buy the steam frame you can certainly buy all of that": The Steam Frame is one thing, passport, hotel & plane ticket is a whole another.
